Understanding "Licensable" on Google Images: A Guide for Creators and Users on Tophinhanhdep.com
In the vast ocean of digital imagery, where billions of pictures are just a click away, the concept of ownership and usage rights often gets lost. For years, finding an image on Google Images and using it for personal or commercial projects without understanding its legal implications was a common practice, inadvertently leading to widespread copyright infringement. This challenge significantly impacted photographers and artists who saw their work commodified and used without permission or compensation. Recognizing this critical issue, Google, in collaboration with industry leaders like the Center of the Picture Industry (CEPIC) and the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC), launched a groundbreaking feature in August 2020: the “licensable” image label and filter in Google Image Search. This initiative marked a pivotal moment, aiming to bring clarity to image licensing and empower creators while guiding users toward ethical and legal image acquisition.
